I like some ice cream flavors, don't like others. Same with music.              *Other* sensations are like songs, some are total favorites, others well       liked, others just okay, still others tolerated, and some loathed...it's all       about personal preference!              > I've noticed a few guys playing violin on rock albums.

And the Electric Light Orchestra       (ELO) used viola and cello as well as violin.              But Kansas's Robby Steinhardt is still the best - can he ever jam and get       down ;)              > So is it fair to connect certain playing styles with specific instruments       > ?

At least not now.              Jim              Then maybe he'll listen to you.              Ouisie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
